I got the idea re: HP in Spanish from, I think, a Lifehacker post, about learning language. Since I have a fair amount of reading comprehension, the idea is to choose a familiar and straightforward book that you've already read, and go through it in Spanish with a good Sp. dictionary at your side. The post specifically suggested HP, actually, as it is available in a bajillion languages, and has been widely read.
Since I learn little to nothing from Spanish textbooks these days, it seemed like a good idea.
I've tried it with SPanish movies, and TV shows dubbed into Spanish; my success varies. It helps to view something you're already familiar with, so you can really listen and not be distracted with simply viewing for story etc. I'll have to try that again sometime soon.
